The world is entering a new phase in its international relations. In Eastern Europe new political entities have emerged. The article deals with the case of Slovakia in the period 1939 – 1945, an example of a de facto State that emerged during a time of instability in Europe. Slovakia 1939–1945 held many characteristics of a de iure State such as a wide international recognition. From a formal point of view it could thus be described as a de iure State, however, the article shows that it is not possible to characterise it in this way and slightly amends the criteria for accepting de facto States. The case of Slovakia 1939 – 1945 shows how vulnerable small States can become and how quickly recognition can be granted as well as withdrawn.
